Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to upgrade to a billet 1-2-3-4 piston?
If you are running stock power with normal street use, the factory OE 1-2-3-4 piston may serve reasonably well. However, the OE cast pistons are known to frequently crack under high line pressures, torque multiplication, or when performance modifications (like aftermarket tuning or power adders) increase load. Since many shops have seen failure in the OE part, it’s a good preventative upgrade even if you’re not pushing the limits.
What are the advantages of using the Sonnax billet Heavy Duty 1-2-3-4 piston?
The Sonnax billet version offers several improvements over the OE part. It's a stronger, precision-machined design that:
Resists cracking and distortion under heavy loads
Provides consistent clutch apply pressure for firmer, more reliable shifts
Greatly improves long-term durability in performance builds
Adding this upgrade is inexpensive insurance against a common 6L80 / 6L90 failure point, especially if your build is near or above the 750 RWHP mark.
